JACOB KINSEL, OF PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA.

SYRINGE have invented a new and useful Syringe, of

which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to a vaginal syringe and has for its object a syringe of this type which will be distensible thereby adapting it for use of all individuals, and also for the use of the same patient in different stages of a disease and a further object of the invention is a syringe which will close the mouth of the uterus, which will discharge from its inner end water in an outward direction, and in which no guards or distending wires are required.

The invention also consists in the novel features of construction hereinafter described, pointed out in the claims, and shown in the accompanying drawings, in which:

Figure 1 is a perspective view. Fig. 2 is a view partly in elevation and partly in section. Fig. 2 is a detail view, partly in section illustrating the mounting of certain tubes. Fig. 3 is a section through the end cone, on the line 33 of Fig. 2. Fig. 4 is-a section on the line 44 of Fig. 2. Fig. 5 is a perspective view of a modification. Fig. 6

" is a sectional view and elevation of the modi- Flg. 7 1s a section on the line fied form. 77 of Fig. 6.

In these drawings A represents a base tube provided with a cap A, and to the lower end of this tube is connected a flexible tube or hose section A which may be connected to the spigot in a bath room, or to any suitable source of water where pressure can be had.

Four pipes B are mounted vertically upon 0 the base A the pipes extending upwardly through the cap, each pipe being locked against accidental rotation with respect to the cap by a set screw B said screws working through the sides of the cap or base, the two latter being integral.

The pipes B are bent as shown at B so as to angle outwardly when distended. The pipes are held in position by suitable nuts B and washers B and throughout their main portions are perforated as at B Over the upper or outer ends of these pipes are fitted loosely and rotatably with respect to the pipes B, pipes C, said pipes being angled to converge inwardly, or toward the axial line of the base tube A.

The pipes C are perforated asshown at C Specification of Letters Patent.

and support and telescope'into a hollow cone This cone has a curved and imperforate top adapted to close the mouth of the uterus and prevent injury thereto. The cone is perforated as at D thus sending forth jets of Water outwardly, but at an angle to the axial line of the base tube. The cone is perforated at D to receive the pipes C the inner end por tions of said pipes resting in the cone and the pipe ends being slightly enlarged or flared to prevent withdrawal of the ends of the pipes from the cone. These pipes, C, work loosely through the openings D and a water tight joint is not necessary as the discharge of slight jets at this point will assist in the cleansing operation, the same as discharges through the openings D.

In Figs. 5, and 6 I show a syringe constructed upon this same principle, but omitting the pipes C and cone D. The pipes B are replaced by pipes E also perforated, and which are angled at E and also at E the upper bent portions replacing the pipes C, and a solid cap-piece F replaces the hollow cone D. Otherwise the construction is the same.

In use the syringe is extended to the proper diameter by loosening the set screws B and drawing out or spreading the pipes B, to enlarge the diameter, or contracting or folding them to decrease. This movement of the pipes B will cause the pipes C to work through the openings D of the cone D, sliding into the zone 'when the diameter is contracted, and drawing outwardly as it is increased.

Figs. 3 and 4 show the position of the pipes when folded or contracted to the smallest diameter. Fig. 7 shows them spread to give the greatest diameter, and any intermediate position may be taken by them. When the proper diameter is gained the set screws are tightened and the instrument ready for use.

In use the parts are extended the requisite amount in all cases, and no more, by the tubes B carrying the water which lie in direct contact with the parts and discharge outwardly at right angles to the pipes and directly upon the distended surfaces, the pipes C and cone D discharging outwardly and downwardly in the direction of the tube A.

The central portion of the device, the space between the pipes B is free from any obstructions, so that matter washed from the mucous membrane is readily carried downwardly, aided by the downward jets from the pipes C and cone D, so that all diseased membrane and matter washed from the folds of the vagina are discharged therefrom and not merely removed from one portion to another.

WVhat I claim is:

1. A syringe comprising a base, and angled perforated tubes carried by said base and movable toward and away from each other.

2. A device of the kind described comprising a base tube and a cap, angled, perforated tubes carried by and extending through the cap, angled tubes loosely carried by the first mentioned tubes, a cone carried by the last mentioned tubes, said cone being perforated to discharge outwardly and downwardly, the tubes telescoping in the cone.

3. A device of the kind described comprising a base tube, angled pipes carried thereby,

said pipes being perforated, pipes angled and supported by first mentioned pipes and also being perforated, and a perforated cone, the last mentioned ipes telescoping in the cone.

4. A device 0 thekind described comprising a tube having a cap, perforated pipes passing upwardly through said cap, set screws to lock the pipes against rotation, said pipes being angled adjacent the pipes, pipes carried by the upper ends of said pipes and loosely connected to them, said last mentioned pipes converging, and a perforated cone into which said last mentioned pipes enter, as and for the purpose set forth.
